[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I'm in a similar boat; my spouse travels internationally from time to time, I work from home and my kids are 10 + 12. Right now he's on a 3 week stretch. I agree the emotional needs are higher at this age. Since I spend a lot of time talking with them about their days/feelings, I make life easier for me in all other respects - I do Instacart; I make super easy pasta dinners, I let them read or do hw while eating dinner (not what I usually permit). But I am super strict about sleep on weekdays. I don't nag about screen time if hw /practices are done. Weekends we don't do much but sports and movies while folding laundry. Try to make the physical easier so you have more energy for the emotional. [/quote]
